Phoenix Da Cong

With its 70% fermentation and its light roasting, this tea is frank and powerful. A note of cinnamon completes its mineral aroma, giving the appropriate elegance to its strength of character.
Dan Cong (单枞, literally "single shrub") is a special variety of Oolong. From fifty-year-old tea trees, it grows at an altitude of 1000m on Mount Phoenix in the province of Guandong in China.

Oolong tea or Wu Long (乌龙, literally black dragon) also called blue-green tea, is a tea of Chinese origin (particularly from Fujian and Taiwan) whose whole leaves have the particularity of being withered and slightly rolled to promote their oxidative fermentation (or oxidation). Halfway between green tea (unfermented) and black tea (completely fermented), oxidation will give the tea its characteristic dark color and develop a great complexity of new aromas.
